If you are the Chinese kid making Barbie dolls all day long, wanting one but you can't afford one on your .10cent an hour salary you might hate the people who are going to enjoy those Barbie dolls too.

That doesn't make too much sense. I live in India and there are a lot of poor people here, (poorer than the people in China). They don't really hate the west. They aspire to the West's living standards, sure.

I guess what I am trying to say is relative poverty can be a source of envy. But hate? Enough to delight in attacking the West?
